Mantorp: Motorsport, Equestrian Sports and Skate Park

Mantorp offers several distinct reasons to visit: motorsport, equestrian sports, a skate park and Veta Church. If you’re looking for a hotel in Mantorp, start by deciding what brings you here: would you like to drive on a racetrack yourself, are you interested in equestrian sports, or are skateboarding or historic architecture your main focus? This choice will help you make each theme a specific part of your travel plans.

Motorsport and Track Days

Founded in 1969, Mantorp Park is one of Sweden’s leading motorsport racetracks. It hosts various forms of motorsport: racing, drifting, motorcycling and drag racing. These disciplines give the park a broad motorsport profile; Track Days, by contrast, focus on driving itself. During Track Days, both beginners and experienced drivers can drive on the racetrack. If you want to drive yourself, distinguish in your planning between the motorsport disciplines at the park and a specific Track Day. Dates and booking conditions may change, so check the details for your chosen Track Day before making your travel plans.

Equestrian Sports at Mantorp Hästsportarena

Mantorp Hästsportarena is an arena for international-class equestrian sports and also an equestrian centre where you can take part in and experience the sport. Unlike Mantorp Park, the focus here is on equestrian sports rather than motorsport. The arena is therefore a distinct reason to visit if you’re interested in horses and the sport associated with them. If you’re planning around a specific date, check the latest event information, as schedules may change.

Skate Park at Vifolkaskolan

Mantorp has a skate park at Vifolkaskolan, with a mini-ramp area and a street/flow area. The facility was completed in late 2022 and inspected in April 2023. If skateboarding is one of your travel interests, you can include the park in your plans as a sporting activity in its own right, alongside motorsport and equestrian sports.

Veta Church and Its History

Veta Church is west of Mantorp, on the road to Spångsholm; its oldest parts date from the 12th century. The church adds a historical dimension to the sporting reasons to visit. If you’re interested in older churches and architectural history, you can make Veta Church a focus of your travel plans.

Getting There and Regional Orientation

Commuter trains run to Mantorp from Linköping and Mjölby. Check the timetable for your travel day, as train times may change. In the wider region, Mantorp Park is located directly off the E4 between Mjölby and Linköping in Östergötland. These are two separate points of reference: the trains go to Mantorp, while the E4 location refers to the regional position of the motorsport park. If you’re looking for a hotel in Mantorp, base your search on your main reason for visiting and plan your train journey using the timetable for your travel day. If you’re visiting Mantorp Park, keep its regional connection to the E4 in mind as a separate point of reference.
